Qualys Introduces Agentic AI-Driven Risk Operations Center for Enhanced Cybersecurity

Qualys, Inc. has announced the launch of its Agentic AI-driven Risk Operations Center (ROC), a pioneering solution designed to autonomously manage cyber risks with unprecedented speed and accuracy. This development comes at a critical time when the volume and sophistication of cyber threats are escalating, challenging the capacity of security teams to respond effectively. The new AI fabric on the Qualys platform introduces a marketplace of Cyber Risk AI Agents that provide real-time risk insights across all attack surfaces, prioritized by business impact, thereby reducing operational costs and enhancing security posture.

The integration of Agentic AI into the Qualys platform represents a transformative shift from reactive cybersecurity measures to proactive, autonomous risk management. According to Tyler Shields, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), this innovation enables faster risk reduction, more efficient resource usage, and greater accuracy in recommended actions. The Qualys Marketplace offers ready-to-use AI agents that continuously discover and assess risks, prioritize them based on the unique context of each organization, and autonomously remediate vulnerabilities, significantly reducing the mean time to remediation (MTTR).

Furthermore, the platform allows security teams to create custom, no-code, pretrained AI agents tailored to their specific needs, enabling scalable and repeatable automation for unique risk management workflows. Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO of Qualys, emphasized that this technology is ushering in a new era where CISOs can augment their teams with intelligent AI agents for strategic risk reduction. The Agentic AI features are now available in preview, offering organizations the opportunity to experience the future of AI-powered risk management. For more information, visit https://www.qualys.com.
